Why are my brake pads smoking?

Asked by Guru388KX Jan 19, 2021 at 04:50 PM about the 2009 Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCrew LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just replaced my caliper on ford truck and replaced pads. The side I replaced
is producing smoke and a burning smell I have driven on 2 separate occasions
since then I was thinking that the smell and /or smoke would have gone by
now. I do need to replace the rotor but didn’t think that could be the problem

Did you bleed the brakes? Lube the caliper pins? Have a brake shop double check your work.
